The other day I tweeted:
The children have rigged up some sort of contraption which they fire at me when I walk down the hallway.
I have my very own charge of the light brigade every time I want to use the toilet.
And just to prove I wasn’t exaggerating (Yes! For Lord knows no one exaggerates for effect on the Internet!) here are some shots I got:
This would appear relatively harmeless, were it not for the accompanying, fake-sweet calls of “Mum, come here, we have something to show you….”
Then…
I get lambasted with balls (most not pictured, they were already behind me), rings are frisbeed, and last of all a rocket gets fired at my solar plexus.
Devious little brutes!
But ten points for creativity, I must say.

Just been reading about your family life, and I have read on your blog about living in Kempsey.
Do you have time to reminisce a bit, and write a short passage about Kempsey West school? We are celebrating our sesquicentenary on the weekend of 16th October, and the historical Society is putting together a book, with history and stories of school life. As Librarian, I am writing to some ex-students about the book.
One chapter will be about school in 70s, 80s, 90s, and changes from a large school to a smaller one. As I know you have fond memories of the Library, would you be able to write something about that? Or events you can remember, excursions, or whatever?
Our students enjoyed your last visit to the school and your talk at Presentation Day, so it would be great if you could write something brief for us. Thanks.
